Funny Old Welded Iron Caterpillar birch box and the tail has come

and the tail has come unravelled

NY made--endless possibilities

which someone decided to turn into a little caterpillar at some point

with lots of wear and stains all over that make it great The wood is still in good shape

I might just fill it with paperclips and set it on the desk

Funny Old Welded Iron Caterpillar birch box and the tail has comeKind of silly, but kind of sweet! I'm not sure, but wonder whether the cast iron balls that comprise his body might be old musket balls (?), which someone decided to turn into a little caterpillar at some point, welding on the iron legs, antennae, and button eyes and nose. At any rate, its definitely pretty old, and fairly rusty, and not fussy at all, which I think is much of what makes it good! 4 3 8" l x 1 3 4" w x 2 1 8" t.
